Can’t Win Me Back

Lauren and Angelina arrived at the venue together, but Angelina was stopped by members of the student union and security guards at the entrance.

“I’m sorry, but you can’t enter without a student ID.”

The school had tightened security due to the previous incident, especially for large events like this one.

After being rejected, Angelina looked embarrassed. Normally, she would have fought with anyone who stopped her, but she couldn’t do that at school. She didn’t want to embarrass Lauren and make her life difficult in school.

“Angie, I’ll be fine,” Lauren said, holding Angelina’s slightly calloused hand and gently squeezing it. “If you’re worried, just wait here for me. If anything happens, you can rush in to protect me, right?”

Reluctantly, Angelina agreed. “Alright, Madam Lauren. I’ll wait here. If you feel sick, just send me a text.”

Lauren nodded and followed the crowd into the auditorium.

As the event began, the doors were closed.

The timid Lauren didn’t dare to sit in the front row, so she found a seat in a corner at the back.
